FundingTraders is a challenge-based CFD/FX prop that also advertises an Instant Funding option in its help center. Default funded payouts are 80% to the trader with optional upgrades to 90% or 100% (purchased as add-ons), and the first payout window opens 14 days after your first funded trade; subsequent requests are typically on 14-day cycles post-reset. Site copy also stresses flexible program selection (1-Step/2-Step) to fit trading styles. The positioning leans on clear timelines and upgradeable splits for traders who want predictable payout cadence.

FundingTraders Review
A platform that is streamlined and with clear rules providing three paths to funding-One-Step, Two-Step, and Instant Funding (no eval for IF). Platforms cover MT5 and TradeLocker. Payout rails are simple and low-friction: bank transfer via Rise Pay (min $200) and USDT (ERC-20, min $50). You can choose your first payout window-7 or 14 days from the first funded trade-then request anytime. Default split is 80%, with add-ons to 90% or even 100%; evaluation fees are refunded on the first payout (card/USDT), excluding Instant Funding. Risk limits are published and specific (e.g., Pro10: 5% daily/10% max in phase; 4%/8% funded), and restricted countries are listed for transparency.
Caveats: EAs/copy trading are prohibited unless the risk team approves; payout cadence language varies across pages (expect the 7- or 14-day first window); and withdrawals are limited to bank transfer or USDT-no PayPal/Skrill. Instant Funding is excluded from the fee refund, and there are notable geographic restrictions (e.g., Ukraine, Taiwan, Russia, Vietnam). Bottom line: a solid fit for manual traders who want clear rules, flexible first-payout timing, and straightforward bank/USDT rails-less ideal if you require wider payout methods or automated/copy strategies out of the box.
